Any good Canary Islands brands?

Michal · Dec 20, 2006

So my friends friend goes to Canary Islands soon, and he thought about bringing back to Poland some nice canarian sticks.

Do You guys know any brand from this part of world? Are there any interesting cigars?

I believe Hugo Cassar cigars are from there. They are not very good, imho.

Haven't had a smoke from there in at least a few years, but the ones that I had weren't impressive.

Then there is Goya. These are cigars rolled in the Canary Islands from Cuban tobacco.

I was in Spain this summer and asked a cigar merchant to recommend some good Spanish made cigars for me to bring home. He told me there weren't any Spanish cigars. Then he laughed and recommended some Condal Robustos which are rolled in the Canary Islands from DR tobacco.

Condal Cigars

As far as NCs go they are quite good in my mind. Granted I haven't tried a lot of the big name NC varities (I live in Canada and tend to smoke CCs because it is easy) so I am not sure how they compare to Fuentes, Padrons etc, but I like them.

Tell him to bring back a dog for me. My next one is gonna be a Presa Canario...

I remember hearing about a cigar a while back, Finlandia I belive it was called, that was part Cuban part Canary Island tobacco. Sounded interesting to say the least.

At least the bands look cool.

Finland is my second favorite international team, they've got good goalies and sick jerseys.

How are the new Finlandias?

Condal cigars are very, very good. Don't let these amateurs say they are bad. Wonderful and medium bodied. Smooth and flavorful. Get some and enjoy! Highly recommended.
